dood, *you* posted the number. please back it up, or give it up.

This asshole would argue with an anchor.


The anchor would win.

what is the source of that information, for if it is true it means than more
than 3 times as many people die of CO poisoning each year as die of ALL
recreational boat accidents causes combined?

(Forgot to mention that the number includes some suicides as well.)

This is a good reminder. My work as an engineer takes me to places where CO
is a real potential threat. I have heard too many horror stories of people
being overcome by it. Odorless and tasteless, it is a real threat and can
cause death very quickly.

Because I use a space heater on my boat when it is cold in the spring and
fall I have installed a CO detector as a precaution. I also have a CO
detector and the normal fire alarms in my home.

Thanks for posting this reminder!
